Woo! The world is on fire! Let's watch a reality TV show and pretend it's not happening.

That's been my motto for all of 2025.

Hello, my name is Emily, and I am the host of She's Speaking with Emily Hanks,

and I talk about the TV shows that I watch to not feel the pain.

Just kidding. I'm not. If you would like to disconnect and focus on petty, pointless drama,

come check out my podcast. Available everywhere you listen. You guys, welcome to another pop culture Kiki. As always, it's me, Kelly Williams.

And Troy McGeeley. And I guess we should just get into Hayden, right? We just got to get right into it.

Yeah, I actually, I woke up like a couple hours ago and I started the interview. The interview is two hours.

So I started it last night and then I finished it just now. I just got done crying.

I just got to the part where she talked about her brother and I just lost it. I just wanted to jump

through the screen and just like swaddle her. Like I just want to hug her. I agree. I'm about halfway through,

so I haven't finished it yet. But just everything about Hayden and Troy and I were talking about

this before we hopped on. The way Troy has talked about like Britney's trauma and how her trauma shows

is how I feel about Hayden too. Because the only kind of difference is I feel like more

people know about Britney's trauma, whereas Hayden's trauma is more like if you were paying attention,

if you believe blind items, then you knew about it. So I think for a lot of people, they're like,

why is her voice like that? How come she's seen so off? Like what's going on? Why did she give her child away?

But I'm glad that she now has her book coming out in this incredible interview where she can really

tell her story. And hopefully people will get it a little bit more. Yeah, the confirmation of a lot of

the blind item stuff is like always a surreal thing like when it's just so hard

like I don't know the word it's so aggressively true like it's not even like a little bit true

it's like damn like that stuff was really true like about her parents a part of me kind of hoping
